About AnneMarie
AnneMarie Winic is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, build self-esteem, and address depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain and parenting challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language when needed. Her work centers on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens first, then helps people set small, reachable goals.
Background and approach
She adapts the pace and tools to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Many clients look for help with communication problems, codependency, or caregiver stress. AnneMarie draws on several therapeutic styles to match what feels right for the client.
She uses approaches grounded in attachment and client-centered ideas, along with skills-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. People often come with family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, or midlife questions about purpose.
She also supports those managing workplace strain or the challenge of young adulthood transitions. Hearing-impaired clients can access services using American Sign Language. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping people discover practical ways to feel steadier.
The clinician works collaboratively to create a plan and adjusts it over time. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.
How AnneMarie’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice connection needs and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers on respectful listening and building the person’s own goals; it helps when someone needs validation and space to find answers.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them over time as progress and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people fit short sessions into a busy day and continue work between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and use therapeutic tools in real life.
